This is the initial version of Writing Tools — it's pretty feature-complete!
With everything from multimonitor support to an optimised codebase, I'm pretty happy with how we're starting out.
With that said, welp, I'm sure there'll be bug fixes to come alongside improvements!
✅ The below AV false positive issue has been fixed with the latest update (the release above this one!), which uses PyInstaller instead of Nuikta for the exe compilation :)
A Note on Antivirus Detections
It turns out that some antivirus providers flag the compiled exe below as malware.
Trojan[Packed]/Python.Nuitka
The Python to exe compiler I used is Nuitka, which is why it's getting flagged — it's a known issue.
It happens to obfuscate/minify the exe (to make it optimized and small as it works with its C compiler), making it look suspicious.
In fact, the
main.py file itself is safe to AVs (here's its VirusTotal result) since the code isn't obfuscated with Nuitka's exe.
So if you'd like, you could easily run it directly from
main.py with the instructions in the main page :)
If you're interested, feel free to explore the source code file yourself; it's well-documented. Writing Tools also never requires elevation ("Run as administrator").
